Mona Lisa Overdrive.

The final part of William Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy, following Neuromancer and Count Zero. Clear example of cyberpunk literature. As it happened with the previous novels, this story is also formed from several interconnected plot threads involving a few characters that also appeared in previous books: Mona, a young prostitute who looks like Angie Mitchell, a famour superstar, and who is hired by a few individuals who intend to kidnap the star; Kumiko, a Japanese girl, daughter of a Yakuza boss sent to London from a gang war involving a few Yakuza leaders; and Slick Henry, a convicted car thief who lives in a vast wasteland, and who is hired to take care of Bobby Newmark, also known as Count Zero.
